Re: What can you do when you have bad reaction to Arimidex?

[Guest guest]

Have you tried progesterone cream? I have seen it work consistently and

effectively to reduce estradiol levels. For instance, I have seen levels of

estradiol go from 45 pg/ml to 25 pg/ml on only 6 mg/day of progesterone cream.

You can get a prescription from your doctor and fill it at a compounding

pharmacy.

By the way, progesterone is a testicular hormone that naturally reduces

estradiol. Most men with hypogonadism have low testosterone and low

progesterone. Increasing the testosterone without increasing the progesterone

will make the estradiol levels increase. However, adding back progesterone will

do what it is supposed to do, keep estradiol levels low.

If you do decide to take progesterone it is best taken at night because it can

also improve the quality of your sleep.

Hi,

well you're the first person I've ever heard of that had a bad reaction or

arimidex... but I'm sure there's always a small percentage of folks that don't

react well to anything.

there is aromasin...

I used it for a while just because I could and don't feel it's really better...

but it does work...

takes about a week to get your blood levels stable... and you've still got to

cut your pills into tiny pieces... and it's possible to drive e2 TO low pretty

easily if you try to rush it and take double doses or something that first week

to hurry things along... so be patient that first week or two while your blood

levels stabilize.

Beth, Thanks for the tip on progesterone. I will bring it up to my hormone

therapist. I know a ton of tests were ran, but I am not sure if progesterone

was one of them. I probably need to get that tested as well.

Yes JB I am the one who is always that minority % that gets stuck.

Respectfully, it seems that aromasin is just another synthetic and has as many

harmful potentials as arimidex.
